Does your loved one dream of feeding our piglets? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk a goat? Would your family be thrilled to spend time with our small animals?

Timings for the animal experiences are currently:

If you wanted a bespoke experience on any other day, please reach out via email and we will do our best to make this happen.
